Trainer John van 't Schip will change his team against PSV on Saturday evening with four names compared to the victory over Heracles Almelo (2-4), it is expected Algemeen Dagblad. Jordan Henderson will make his debut against the Eindhoven leader in the Johan Cruijff ArenA at 8:00 PM. Furthermore, Josip Sutalo and Steven Bergwijn are fit enough to start.

Van 't Schip made no secret of it on Friday during the press moment: Henderson will start in the starting line-up at Ajax. “He is doing well. We will have to wait and see whether he is 100 percent match fit, he has not played for a while. He lacks competition rhythm, but he will start.”

It A.D expect Henderson in a midfield with Kristian Hlynsson and Kenneth Taylor. Benjamin Tahirovic, who performed excellently against Heracles, is victimized. Henderson must provide more balance in Ajax's midfield, starting against the undefeated leader of the Eredivisie.

Sutalo returns to the starting line-up at the center back. The Croatian million dollar signing was missing from the matches against RKC Waalwijk (4-1 win) and Heracles due to an injury. With his return, Devyne Rensch shifts to the left back position, while Ar'jany Martha has to settle for a place on the bench. Tristan Gooijer (right back) and Jorrel Hato (center defender) remain, as does goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.

Van 't Schip can again have his captain at the front. Bergwijn starts against his old employer, at the expense of Carlos Forbs. Brian Brobbey (striker) and Steven Berghuis (right winger) complete the attack. Brobbey was accurate in Eindhoven earlier this season, when Ajax lost 5-2 to PSV.

Gastón Ávila, Sivert Mannsverk, Branco van den Boomen and Mika Godts are missing from Ajax's match selection on Saturday evening. During the preceding press conference, Van 't Schip showed a good dose of self-mockery towards the top player. “I'm looking forward to it, it's a great match. I also hope for an open competition. Well, most competitions are quite open with us.”

The match between Ajax and PSV will kick off at 8 p.m. The referee is Serdar Gözübüyük. The referee will be assisted by assistant referees Erwin Zeinstra and Johan Balder. Joey Kooij is the fourth man on duty, while Pol van Boekel has been appointed as video referee.

Presumed Ajax line-up: Ramaj; Gooijer, Sutalo, Hato, Rensch; Henderson, Hlynsson, Taylor; Berghuis, Brobbey, Bergwijn.
